Mango: friend or foe?

[Moos]

Can you stick one through the letterbox please, MP?

[citizenED]

gosh, people, Mangoes are', naturally, the king of fruits. We in this northern climate have to put up with apples and pears and then we geat sent from exotic places the magnificent mango. And we bemoan stringiness, we bemoan lack of taste; we even bemoan difficulty in eating. Cast aside your doubts. Don't peel the thing. Cut off one side with a sharp knife. Cut off the other side. Slice them into cubes. Eat with a cocktail stick, skin ON. Delicious.

Depraved. I put it to you, kidneypunch, that this immoral behaviour is sending our country to the dogs.

Mangoes are an occsional fling, promising in a "I haven't had one of those in a while" but leaving you a bit disappointed.

[Jeremy]

Mango is my favourite fruit, alongside pineapple.

They are almost always under-ripe in the supermarket though.

[Ted Max]

You are all quite mental. I bet some of you even have mango breath and toxins around your kids and elderly relatives. Disgusting.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I have never eaten a mango while pregnant.

[Ted Max]

You should have. Then you wouldn't have had such an offensively obese baby.

I bet there are people on here who are sneaking away to high end Guava parlours, aren't there? In working hours.

[Moos]

*wipes mouth*

How dare you.

HighEnd Guava? Moody old wagon.

I won't forget that particular paternity suit in a hurry.

The worst of it all, though were the witnesses.

I doubt I'll be able to pass a civil word with Jeremy Paxman, Rabbi Lionel BlueJoke or Kelly Brooke ever again.

Some things just go too deep.

W-ell, I wouldn't go that far...pineapple juice is slightly bearable if you mix it with fresh lime juice and a quart of finest jamaican rum.

Amchoor (or Amchur) Powder is made from dried mango flesh. It is used as a souring agent in curries: found only occasionally in Anglo-Indian cuisine but very popular in certain parts of the sub-continent.
